Freaks Like Us

When Jason Milwaukee’s best friend Sunshine vanishes, Jason knows that

something is terribly wrong, but solving her disappearance will require

pushing through all the voices in his head and then getting the world to

listen to him. His schizophrenia is stopping him from remembering the events

leading up to her disappearance, and often he discounts his own memories, and

his own impressions.

But his deep knowledge that he would never hurt his friend, plus the faith of

his parents and a few others in the town bring him to the point of solving the

mystery. In the end, it’s Sunshine’s own love for Jason (Freak) that persuades

him of his own strength and goodness.

By turns brilliantly witty and searingly honest, Susan Vaught’s newest novel

is a laugh-out-loud, tear-jerking, coming-of-age story.
